Robert Maplethorpe
(November 4, 1946-March 9, 1989)

Maplethorpe was an American photographer, known for his large-scale, highly stylized black and white portraits, photos of flowers and naked men. The frank, homosexual eroticism of some of the work of his middle period triggered a more general controversy about the public funding of artworks.

Mapplethorpe died on the morning of March 9, 1989, 42 years old, in a Boston, Massachusetts hospital from complications arising from AIDS. His ashes were buried in Queens, New York, in his mother's grave, marked 'Maxey'.

Nearly a year before his death, the ailing Mapplethorpe helped found the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, Inc. His vision for the Foundation was that it would be "the appropriate vehicle to protect his work, to advance his creative vision, and to promote the causes he cared about". Since his death, the Foundation has not only functioned as his official estate and helped promote his work throughout the world, it has also raised and donated millions of dollars to fund medical research in the fight against AIDS and HIV infection.

Neel Bate aka
"Blade"
November 29, 1916 – June 27, 1989

The famous series entitled "THE BARN" 1947/48 was spread through the country and beyond when the only photo-copies of it were confiscated by the New York City Police Department in the arrest of a man (during a raid on his apartment) who had hoped to sell them. Such raids on the homes of gay men were a commonplace of the period.
Neel Bate continued to produce work well into the 1980's. He was, however, a heavy smoker and died of emphysema on June 27, 1989.
